Hey
I have created a cname record in my other server. ex. Mytrip.mydomain.com pointing to the domain i mange the dns with Cloudflare. Ex. Mycloudflaredomain.com
I tried to set the cname to point to my doma5in Cloudflare but it doesnt work
Can someone advise the correct setup on Cloudflare user panel?
And now post the actual hostnames.

I created mytrip.lametayel-thailand to point to btc-thai.com on my server
And on Cloudflare i manage btc-thai.com
mytrip.lametayel-thailand is not a domain and if it is a hostname of your .com domain, then you did not configure it.
Anyhow, if these are two different domains, it will only work if they are part of the same Cloudflare account.

That domain is not on Cloudflare and hence that CNAME record cannot work for aforementioned reason.

I thought that all the purpose of cname is that you can use domain from server a and point it to antoher domain in server b.
I did it with other service providers i have

The point of a CNAME record is to point a hostname to another hostname instead of an IP address.
As already mentioned, with Cloudflare this will only work if both domains are on Cloudflare. You can also check out Cloudflare for SaaS · Cloudflare for Platforms docs but it will be easier to simply add the domain.

Alternatively, you can unproxy your main domain.

Unproxy main domain, you mean the one on Cloudflare. Or lametayel-thailand.com
